Rising Waves of Accountability

CIRCIA should be understood within the context of the rising waves of government regulation, growing
legal liabilities, and insurance costs commensurate with the scale and seriousness of today's nation-state
cyber threats to our critical infrastructure. These waves are inevitable given the stakes, and we should
expect a continued drive toward greater public-private sector coordination in threat landscape awareness
and cyber preparedness.

Ultimately, no organization can effectively prepare for future cyber attacks if it lacks an understanding of
the threats specific to its sector and potential implications to its business. In this regard, the CIRCIA rules
could prove an important step in opening a floodgate of shared security-controls-efficiency data specific
to critical infrastructure providers and the life-supporting systems they operate.

This development, when combined with a comprehensive BAS program, will empower organizations to
achieve their objectives of becoming more proactive in cyber defense, more efficient in risk reduction,
and better informed to report on such matters to their executive teams and boards.
